I weakened and had chocolate yesterday, Thornton's Chocolate Mints 58cals - they were yummy and had 6! But that was my choice I made. I felt my body needed it, I wasn't hungry, but had to have it! Next time what should I do?

    Girl, don't deprive yourself! If overall you are doing great eating healthy (and looking at your ticker, I think you are doing pretty good :P) , eat that chocolate! Don't feel bad about it. I also have my chocolate and white bread when I feel like I just really want it. I just don't eat 20 pieces (I easily could) but, like you, just have 5 - 6 pieces. It really doesn't matter that much! Or: buy some dark chocolate, healthier and so good!

    It may not be chocolate you were craving. But I envy you.

    I can't eat it anymore. I've gone so long without the extra sugar (unless from fruit) that if I have any I pass out soon after (like I've been drinking) and then wake up next day with a hangover.... yep a chocolate/sugar hangover that lasts all damn day.

    Honestly I've had an unhealthy chocolate addiction since a kid.

    I've eaten chocolate at least weekly, through my entire weight loss of like 30 lbs lol. Moderation is key, specific foods don't make you fat, excess cals do.

    Chocolate isn't a problem especially if it's dark chocolate. I heard on Dr. Oz that dark chocolate is to be healthier for you than any other kind of chocolate so since chocolate can be a weakness for me I make sure that I reach for dark chocolate.

    Well... if you're not happy with how much you had, then next time just have less.

    I have chocolate nearly every day; I'm ok with that. I also make sure it's something I really enjoy, so I don't feel like it's a waste of calories. :drinker:

    I am really starting to believe that also. Every single time I have "binged" on chocolate (staying within caloric range or even slightly over) I would lose tremendously the next morning.

    I have a small bar, like a cadbury fudge or chomp, most days :) they're around 110 cals and satisfy the chocolate craving. And they last long if I cut them up into tiny slices :laugh:

    My absolute weakness is Hershey's Symphony. I could easily eat the entire giant bar in one day but now I let myself eat a couple of pieces a day yet feel satisfied. Have been able to lose 26 lbs so far even with eating chocolate everyday. My advice is to enjoy in moderation. Eat the pieces slowly and observe the taste, smell, texture. Doing that will help you feel more "satisfied" ... good luck!

    I have chocolate every day. Just a small piece and I nibble it. Maybe you could too and it would stop the cravings!

    I have chocolate every day... that is my weakness. I try to eat 1 piece each day, sometimes I eat more, sometimes not at all.
    You should allow yourself some treats every one and then.

    As long as you stay under your calorie goal!

    I had 2 Dove chocolate eggs and a 100 calorie bar from Trader Joe's. And I was still 250 calories under or something at the end of the day.

    Yesterday I made hot cross bun bread and butter pudding with maya gold and ginger chocolate. It was delicious.
    Don't feel too guilty, just work it into your calorie allowance.
    Oh and try ice lollies, some are really low calorie - they have been my diet saviour several times!

    Oh lawdy...talk about what got me here! As a teenager I would eat an entire bar in one sitting while reading a good book. Probably 2 or 3 times a week.

    Once I get my chocolate mentality under control, you better believe these bars will be making a reappearance..... (That and lindor truffles...)

    Ugh, I ate so much yesterday and have such a sugar/chocolate/ice cream/fat hangover today

    Eat it. May want to have a little each day so you don't crave/obsess over it and have 6 in a sitting, but either way, enjoy!

    Dark chocolate is your friend! Get some small bars that are like 2 large squares (30g I think) and have a nibble, suck it until it melts then nibble a bit more. Do it as slowly as you can, cures chocolate craving and is not huge on calories

    This helps me too. One or 2 of those little Dove dark squares. I take forever to eat the first one, savoring/ sucking each tiny nibble.

    Then I pop the entire second one and eat it in one go. :laugh:

    My weakness is those Lindt Lindor truffles and their chocolate eggs.
    But Easter chocofon aside, I try to stick to 74-85% dark most of the time.
